Kimberly Peterson

Dessert 2 out of 3 of Kimba’s “Berry Desserts” Theme Project Christmas is just around the corner so once again my “Berry Desserts” Theme Project continues with yet another recipe taken from the Australian Good Food Mag Dec 2010 Issue. I cannot tell you how much I love this magazine.. best thing I’ve ever subscribed to! This cake was a lot of fun to make, and although the recipe below includes frozen cranberries, unfortunately Coles didn’t have any so I settled for frozen raspberries instead! Didn’t really matter though, berries are awesome no matter what they are! Cranberries, raspberries, strawberries, … Continue reading Chocolate, Cream & Cranberry Yule Log

Grilled Porterhouse Steak with Garlic Butter

Kimberly Peterson

Super Easy Weeknight Dinner Idea by Kimba’s Kitchen It has been a while since I’ve used my George Foreman grill, I forgot how awesome it is to eat a good piece of steak on a busy weeknight. I also forgot how delicious garlic butter is… I know it almost defeats the purpose of healthy George Foreman grilling when I top it up with garlic butter, but a girl could use a hearty treat at times 😉 Introducing the “Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine”… I must admit I don’t use this as much as I should. It’s not only good for … Continue reading Grilled Porterhouse Steak with Garlic Butter

Mexican Eggs with Chorizo and Kumara Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Recipe from Australian Good Food Magazine November 2010 I decided to try this recipe because 1) the presentation of the dish was so colorful and looked yummy as soon as I saw it 2) the list of ingredients were surprisingly short! 3) it was classified as a Mexican dish, something I rarely cook in my kitchen but absolutely LOVE flavors of Mexican food! 4) it looked like a simple enough dish to cook, but looked impressive enough to serve guests – and if tastes just as good as it looks, it will definitely go in my collection of must-have recipes. … Continue reading Mexican Eggs with Chorizo and Kumara Recipe

Margaret Fulton’s Brandy Snap Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

You probably would’ve noticed by now that I don’t bake very often. I don’t normally do sweet things, not because I don’t like sweets… I am just a HUGE fan of savoury dishes! However, this weekend I’ve decided to treat ourselves to something out of the ordinary. I’ve decided to attempt making brandy snaps using a Margaret Fulton recipe because I had brandy snaps at a wedding three weeks ago and absolutely loved it! These also make a great treat for an afternoon tea, and right now, as I write this blog entry, I am comfortably seated on my couch … Continue reading Margaret Fulton’s Brandy Snap Recipe

Ingredients: 4 pieces of chicken thighs, with skin and bone 3 tsp minced garlic 2 tsp ground ginger 2 tsp chilli flakes 2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/2 lemon juice 1 tbsp Nando’s Hot Peri Peri … Continue reading Peri Peri Chicken Recipe (Roasted)

Occasionally, it’s great to try something new and challenging – but let’s be real, in our day to day life filled with routines and activities – it is starting to become more and more valuable to find recipes that I will cook regularly, without much of a fuss and something uniquely different from the familiarity of common everyday dishes. This recipe caught my attention because 1) It … Continue reading Poached Salmon with Cucumber Sauce Recipe
